- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small potato (leftover boiled, if available)
- 2 green onions
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley

- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Dried basil, to taste

Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare a pie plate by spraying it with a non-stick cooking spray like Pam, ensuring easy release after baking.
-
Beat the eggs in a fairly large bowl, setting the stage for the rich and fluffy texture of your frittata.
-
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter (or heat cooking oil, though butter adds a richer flavor) and sauté the vegetables of your choice along with the minced garlic until tender and fragrant.
-
Add the sautéed vegetables to the beaten eggs, creating a vibrant medley of flavors and textures.
-
Incorporate the fresh parsley, grated cheddar cheese (or experiment with Swiss or mozzarella for a twist), and a sprinkle of your favorite seasonings, such as salt, black pepper, and dried basil, to elevate the taste profile.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate, ensuring an even distribution for uniform baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is lightly golden brown, creating an enticing visual appeal.
-
Allow the frittata to rest for two minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the structure to firm up slightly.
-
Slice the frittata into wedges, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of freshness, and serve hot, savoring each mouthful of this delectable creation.
